On Tuesday, liberal stalwart NPR hyped a BBC World Service poll that found that &quot;<strong>if the world picked U.S. president, election would be a blowout&quot;</strong> for President Obama. Writer <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/10/23/163473712/if-the-world-picked-u-s-president-obama-would-win-by-a-landslide" target="_blank">Eyder Peralta&#39;s item</a>, which was the number-one most-viewed on its website, spotlighted that the poll &quot;taken in 21 countries...<strong>found for the most part, foreign countries preferred Obama. The only exception was Pakistan</strong> where more people said they preferred Romney.&quot;<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-20008687" target="_blank">BBC poll</a>, conducted between July 3 and September 3, found that the most strongly pro-Obama country, to no one&#39;s shock, was France, with 72 percent of respondents supporting the incumbent Democrat. The second highest pro-Obama country was Australia, followed by Kenya, Nigeria, and Canada.</p>

The pro-life group <a href="http://liveaction.org/">Live Action</a> has posted an expose that should be deeply embarrassing to Planned Parenthood. In a visit taped on January 11, an office manager at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Perth Amboy, New Jersey greets a man and woman posing as a pimp and a prostitute by carefully explaining they want &quot;as little information as possible&quot; as they offer their contraceptive and abortion services, even as this pimp described bringing in underage girls as illegal aliens to be his sex workers. At NPR&#39;s blog The Two-Way, reporter Eyder Peralta picked this up and promptly mangled the facts.</p>
<p>
The headline was &quot;Group Behind ACORN Undercover Videos Sets Up Planned Parenthood &#39;Sting.&#39;&quot; Yes, &quot;sting&quot; may be what you call it when liberal journalists take a hidden camera to expose malfeasance, but if the videographers are pro-life, the word goes into quotes. Peralta began: &quot;The same group that went undercover at ACORN offices back in 2009 is now going after Planned Parenthood.&quot; Wrong.</p>
<p>
NPR was forced to correct: &quot;An earlier version of this post stated Live Action was associated with James O&#39;Keefe. They are not, and O&#39;Keefe was not a part of this undercover video.&quot;</p>
